Herzog's Nosferatu The Vampyre is certainly worthy - quite excellent (but bewarned, I am a Herzog fanboy).

I also rated the remake of The Hills Have Eyes, which I was expecting to hate because a) I generally hate remakes and b) I love the original.

I would also add Carpenter's The Thing, Abel Ferrara's version of Body Snatchers, (and maybe the 1978 Kaufman one too, though I think folk over-rate it personally) and Scorsese's OK take on Cape Fear.

The only ones I think actually improve on the original though are The Fly and The Thing.
